New Class for Russian Speaking Students

To kick start the class, here are a few tips for Russian speakers who want to
learn English…

Let’s start at the beginning with pronunciation. It can be very discouraging to
try to speak with people around only, but no one understands what you are
trying to say.

Some may say that pronunciation is not important when trying to study a
language, but that is not the case with English. If you know a little bit of
English and can pronounce those few words, you will have much more confidence
when speaking.

So when you are starting to learn English, first focus on your pronunciation.
Ask a native English speaker for help, and most people will gladly assist you.
Learn the correct sounds the letters make, and practice them.

For example, ask a native how to correctly make the sound “sh.” Focus on the
sound and how your mouth feels when you say it.
